Found some of these idea's from the book-The Diaper Bag Book for Toddlers

This week is about craft ideas or entertainment for your toddler. Things they can make or things you can make for them.

Bathtub CrayonsThese thick and sturdy crayons are just right for toddlers.

Learning: Creativity

Egg Beater BubblesLet your toddler use an eggbeater in the tub or tabletop with a dishpan. (Hand held eggbeater)

About Me

One of my many dreams is to teach caregivers, parents, teachers and child care providers inexpensive craft ideas with items they most likely already have. Being crafty and involved with children opens up so many things for them from bonding, learning, and imagination. I work with children in foster care/ state custody with parents or caregivers who don’t have the funds to provide a lot. I will post blogs on free or inexpensive things to do around Maine along with many craft ideas. I hope you enjoy and please share your photos and stories.
